Soffit Cladding

Advanced Glass: Soffit Cladding

Finishing Critical Façade Interfaces with Precision and Durability

Soffit cladding plays a key role in completing the building envelope, providing a durable and visually consistent finish to overhangs, entrance recesses, and façade interfaces. When correctly designed and installed, soffits protect underlying structures while contributing to the overall performance and appearance of the façade.

Advanced Glass supplies and installs soffit cladding as part of fully coordinated façade packages, ensuring seamless integration with glazing, curtain walling, canopies, and rainscreen systems.

Design and Interface Coordination

Soffit cladding typically interfaces with multiple elements, including curtain walling heads, window systems, canopies, and external wall build-ups. Accurate detailing is essential to manage tolerances, drainage, and movement while maintaining clean visual lines.

Our design team develops detailed drawings that consider fixing strategies, substrate conditions, access requirements, and long-term maintenance. Early coordination helps reduce on-site adjustments and ensures buildability across complex façade junctions.

Performance and Compliance

Soffit cladding must support both functional and regulatory requirements. Advanced Glass designs soffit solutions to align with:

Fire performance requirements in accordance with Approved Document B
Durability and exposure considerations
Safe installation and maintenance access in line with Approved Document K
Compatibility with the surrounding façade systems

Where required, materials and finishes are selected to meet fire classification and environmental exposure demands.
